What is a picture book and what are its characteristics?

The difference between picture books and other ordinary picture books is that picture books usually have an independent author of the drawings, drawings have a personal style, the picture is the scene, can be a single picture. We often see some books with pictures and text, although the pictures in these books are very interesting, but these pictures are just a supplement to the text, just a kind of pictures with the function of the text system. This type of book is mostly found in textbooks and teaching aids. The pictures in the book do not have the function of "picture language". Picture books and our traditional comic strips and comics, the latter is like a traditional stage play, the reader can only be in a certain angle with a full view to see, will produce a great sense of distance. Low-childhood picture books, however, is like a movie for young children to see, it shows a broad vision, but also the details of the close-ups, both extremely interesting storyline, but also hidden the rhythm of the design of the start, take up, turn, and close. Some cartoon-based books for young children are also different from picture books. These books are beautifully drawn, the picture is a cartoon of the activities of the solidification of the form of the loss of the charm of the activities, the picture plot has been "dismembered" difficult to express the content of the original book, the book's drawings are just to cause the cartoon plot memories of the symbols." The text is simple: "The wolf enters the lamb's house ......". The back of a full-page performance of the wolf opened the door to come in, all the lambs are very panic, some hide in the big clock, some hide under the bed, some hide behind the door, there are hidden behind the sofa ...... This picture greatly aroused the interest of young readers.
